Creamy Pesto Dip
When we had our little Valentines Exchange party, I planned to make my standby jalapeno popper dip. But then, whoops, I realized I was completely out of green chiles, so there was some quick rifling through my Pinterest appetizer board to see what else I might be able to conjure out of my pantry/fridge.
This pesto dip was the winner.
I had frozen pesto cubes leftover from last summer’s non-stop CSA basil, and having this dip in the middle of February made me anxious for summer.
And people really gobbled it up. So, I felt awesome. And it was ridiculously easy, so I felt doubly awesome.

Looks good! Wonder how using plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream would do (for a little healthier option)??
I think that'd be fine! Or you could do half and half.
Yum – I love easy appetizers! Now I just have to wait for my basil to grow so I can make some pesto.
